Book Description
Differential diagnosis texts for the MRCP can overload candidates with detailed information, making revision seem difficult and overwhelming. In contrast, this book avoids exhaustive lists of often rare causes and concentrates instead on a maximum of five of the most common causes in terms of prevalence for each scenario, making revision more structured and manageable. The book includes diagnostic hints - clinical or lab clues that point towards a specific diagnosis - and a unique chapter on key ECG causes and features. Although primarily intended for MRCP Part I & II and FCPS (Pakistan) Part II candidates, this book will also be useful for undergraduate students preparing for finals.

Pharmacology in 7 Days for Medical Students
Author: Fazal-I-Akbar Danish
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1138031143
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
Pharmacological knowledge among medical students can have a very short 'half life': students often fail not because they have failed to study, but because they have been unable to retain key knowledge and reproduce it in an exam setting. This book takes an alternative route to the conventional approach of comprehensively exploring each individual drug and its features: not only can such an approach overwhelm and make knowledge retention difficult, but the current exam format makes questions structured in this way unlikely anyway. Instead of aiming to be completely comprehensive, it examines drugs systematically by classifications, mechanisms of action, therapeutic uses and side effects, enabling students to gain the distilled, functional grasp of pharmacology that their exams actually demand quickly and clearly.

An Aid to the MRCP PACES
Author: Dev Banerjee
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1444312987
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 392
Book Description
The forerunner to this book - Ryder, Mir & Freeman's 'An Aid to the MRCP Short Cases' - rapidly established itself as a classic and has sold over 30,000 copies. The new Progressive Assessment of Clinical Examination Skills (PACES) has replaced the old short case exam and, as a result, the authors have revised, reworked and extended their highly successful text so that it continues to address the study needs of candidates. This new revision aid is now presented in two volumes: An Aid to the MRCP PACES Volume 1: Stations 1, 3 and 5 An Aid to the MRCP PACES Volume 2: Stations 2 and 4 This Volume covers Station 2 'History Taking' and Station 4 'Communication Skills'. In the 'History Taking' section at least 50 examples of each type of question and case are included, together with scenarios with simulated patients. The focus of the book is very much on the examiners' expectations so that candidates have a true picture of the areas on which they are being tested. Station 4 'Communication Skills' also covers the ethical issues in the doctor-patient relationship, such as managing organ transplantation, consenting for hospital post-mortem, etc. Also included in this Volume is the 'Experiences and Anecdotes' chapter providing real quotes from both candidates and examiners - this helps the candidate to avoid the more common pitfalls of the exam.

Chestnuts for the MRCP
Author: Miles Levy
Publisher: Remedica
ISBN: 1901346390
Category : Diagnosis, Differential
Languages : en
Pages : 129
Book Description
This book is not designed to be easy reading. It is simply a catalogue of lists that have been amalgamated by previous MRCP candidates who have sat the Part 1 and Part 2 examinations. The lists, or 'chestnuts', contain the most important differential diagnoses that are relevant to clinical practice and the MRCP exam. The lists will enable you to create useful differential diagnoses on the spot. As the format of the MRCP examination is constantly under review, it is hoped that these lists will provide a concise and portable text, which will be continually relevant to the examination, as well as clinical medicine.
